Brooklynites across the borough weigh in as they try to understand how this ruling will affect public safety.
They say New York's rule was arbitrary, adding the more people carrying guns to protect themselves, the safer we'll all be.
Thursday's ruling strikes down the ability for cities and states to limit who can carry a concealed weapon, and that's already having an impact on what kinds of guns people are buying.

Politico has reportedly obtained a draft opinion, which suggests a decision has been made to overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark ruling that legalized abortion nationwide.

The draft published by Politico indicates it was circulated in February, and the justices could change their votes in the days or weeks before a decision is released.
Kathy Hochul made it clear Tuesday that she will adamantly uphold the rights of women to get abortions in New York.
The high court ruled it's OK to exclude U.S. citizens in Puerto Rico from the Supplemental Security Income program.
The court ruled 8-1, with Justice Sonia Sotomayor as the lone dissenter.
As is typical, the justices did not say anything in rejecting the case, and it was one of more than 100 turned away.
The Senate voted 53-47 to confirm Jackson to the high court, with three Republicans joining all 50 Democrats to approve her nomination.
The newest member of the highest court in the country holds special meaning for young Black girls.
Despite the Senate Judiciary Committee deadlocking on advancing her nomination, Jackson is likely to be confirmed with three Republican senators having pledged support.
The Supreme Court justice was admitted with an infection on March 18 after experiencing "flu-like symptoms."
Republicans pushed a line of questioning about some of her past sentences in child pornography cases.
"If I am confirmed, I commit to you that I will work productively to support and defend the Constitution and the grand experiment of American democracy," Jackson said.
